Why Choose Sunny Isles Beach?

First, let’s look at why people love this beachfront Miami neighborhood. Sunny Isles Beach’s pristine white-sand shoreline and casual, family-oriented vibe have always made it a top choice for exclusive living away from the city core. Locals have plenty of options to enjoy the great outdoors with the at-home Newport Fishing Pier to drop a line, next-door Haulover Beach Park for water sports and boating, and the Oleta River State Park for kayaking and biking. Further, with world-class shopping at the Shops at Bal Harbour or over the bridge at Aventura Mall and the fun and frolic of Miami Beach just 35 minutes away, it’s no wonder Sunny Isles Beach is one of the most desirable addresses in town - and these are its most luxurious condo residences:
